Feng Shui Tips & Guidelines

These are some considerations: 1. The photos show "POTENTIAL" sha qi's especially if it is close-by to an apartment - window. 2. Most importantly, one has to be inside an apartment (flat) or unit e.g. on a 2nd storey unit to see if any of the fins of the roof slices into the unit. Or whether does it aim towards the unit (openings). 3. Thus potential means; it is not "there yet" but just maybe.

Nowadays, developers are hearing their clients. As many clients feed-back to the developer that under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, it is considered inauspicious to have the main entrance door directly facing a toilet in this SOHO project. Well, guess what! The developer has listened and will in fact, make minor changes; which in Shapes and Forms Feng Shui a world of difference, here....

Shifu, the mirror which side is better ar? The right side is our room door I mean right side is entrence of our room Reply: Frankly this is not Feng Shui. If you often use the drawers, make sure the hinge is firm to hold the mirror

There are two options, here: 1. Option 1: Separate the Master bedroom with a full concealed wall away from the dressing room-area or 2. Option 2: Use partitions between Master bedroom and dressing/toilet area to make it look bigger

Should I get a small, medium or large flower pot? Frankly, this has more to do with common sense:- 1. For example, if one lives in a high rise apartment. And if there is no balcony grille. And if there are young children.. then best to avoid getting a medium or large flower pot. 1.1. Else these flower pots become a stepping stone to climb over say.. the railing(s). 2. Look at the attached photo. In our current heat-wave, one will notice that the two small flower pots have plants that shrivel and close to dead...

In my opinion, both your questions can be categorized as: common sense. 1. Most people may feel uncomfortable with our back against a door or opening. If it is an office environment, a mirror, much like the rear view kind, may be mounted nearby or on the edge if monitor screen. Also applies for the home. 2. Curtains must be washed often to avoid germs and bacterial to grow. 3. Closing the door is ok.

Under the Principles of Management, one approach to leadership studies is the situational approach. Under the basic premise of the situational approach "Is that different situations demand differrent types of leadership. This approach was developed by Hersey and Blanchard in 1969 based upon Reddin's (1967) 3-D management style theory. In 1999, I adapted the above as: "The Situational Approach to Feng Shui" Similarly this universal concept can also be applied in Feng Shui. As different situations demand different types of Feng Shui tools & concepts.

These are some considerations: 1. If one's unit is along the common corridor; no choice; for safety reasons, such windows have to be sliding panels. As casement windows if fully opened can be a safety hazard. 2. The disadvantage of sliding windows is that often many of such windows have a fixed panel where all the windows slide towards it. 3. From a Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; a casement window is advantages at the exterior of an apartment that is 2nd storey or higher...

If you are purchasing a re-sale flat, make sure that you obtain a copy of the layout plan prior to commiting to a downpayment for the flat that you like. This year alone, I have chanced to ask several clients who had `unwittingly' purchased such an apartment: The usual comment was that at the time, they saw the unit, they did not realise that there is a sloping wall. In many of the situations, they had already made an expensive commitment already. If one can, try to avoid purchasing such units as they are overall, not as favourable under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. And, such a sloping wall (with missing corner) is considered a leak. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Further to what I had mentioned, 1. In the past, I had often brought out the need to use this simple TOOL:- The Three-Step-Approach 2. The above simple tool is about tracing the roots of a concept. And if we were to trace the roots; often, based on common sense, we can deduce which evolution tree a concept falls into. 3. Not only a concept falls into but rather what was it's chief evolution path. 4. Thus, in this simple attachment, if we trace Kua (Gua number) it falls under the evoluntionary tree of Feng Shui. 4.1. While what you mentioned, a snake be it a cobra, python or whatever snake; the concept of snake is based on Chinese Zodiac signs and falls under the evolution…

Dear Cecil, Thank you for your time replying and analyzing my apartment. I sincerely believed that the house we are staying is the big issue of this problems with so many leaks thats its impossible and inconvenient to fix. Let me just find a house with bright hall principles and suits our kua. Best regards

How suitable is the house? Besides Location, location and location; these are some of the tools used under Can or Cannot buy

In this illustration, the master bedroom has inauspicious Flying Stars where one should best avoid: Bright Yellow and Red. But, to circumvent this; one can always use items or e.g. bed sheets with all the primary colours.

Sorry to trouble u again, The additional lighting point, can it be another on/off switch (with looping fr nearby lighting point )or must it be direct fr DB Reply: Frankly, Feng Shui does not micro manage until like this... or rather, this has nothing to do with Feng Shui whatsoever

Dear Joe, Symbolism in Feng Shui is equally important i.e. Blue symbolises " Water. " In the Book of I-Ching, Water means having difficulties:- 1. If an entire roof is covered with `water' (blue) one can imagine the amount of problems the household will get. The amount of `water' weighing down on one's home is enormous. 2. As I mentioned also that too much water in relation to the home e.g. greater than 33.3 percent is equally bad as too much water results in an Yin environment. 3. I have seen quite alot of occupants of houses with `blue' roofs facing difficulties and this correlates to what you have mentioned and to me, I believe it is bad to have blue tiled roof. 4. The…

Step furniture - Does it cause poison arrows because of its `jagged' shape? Step-furniture Does this step furniture cause poison arrows? Yes, I think so. No, I don't believe it can. Not Sure Current Results

1. I have always trained my mind to ask this question: "Has common sense to do with this question?" 2. In my opinion, you would be pleasantly surprised to learn that many seemingly Feng Shui or even Grand Mother's tales are rooted in pure common sense! 3. Currently, it is even an uphill task for me to try to collate many so called Feng Shui or Feng Shui related questions into one link. 4. Where it is pure common sense that leads to some thinking that it is some higher form such as a Feng Shui concept or theory! 5. The next time, you try to have a paradiym shift by asking the question: "It is just pure common sense?" You will be pleasantly surprised, when you figure out pu…

You wrote: "The renovation is practically making the old house new. I hacked 2 main walls to move the rooms to the right, change the main door, move the toilets, replace all doors and windows, gate, new fence, jack up the roof to make ceiling higher but roof tiles remain, new floor tiles, new plaster ceiling, new wiring for the whole house. Will this change the period of the house or no?" Please do a search on the top left frame of this forum with the words "change to period 8". There are already tons of information on the above. More importantly:- 1. Go check out that there are two different schools of thought: one of which is the conservative thinking. 2. No living Geom…

For Feng Shui, why do this or why do that, often it is based purely on common sense.

Sure. But we cannot incorporate the side gate into the main gate right, such that there is a frame and people have to bend over to get into the house. Correct? Grandmother’s tale. For small terraces, perhaps this is the only way to have it. As common as grains of the sand in a beach. Even many semi-d has this. Not like one is so old that cannot bend down. No harm also to exercise the neck Furthermore this side gate incorporated into the main gate saves space and the most cost effective method.. practised long long time ago. Even my grandfather’s bungalow built on the 1950’s once had such a side gate, then.
